Geez. That’s the same core configuration at twice the clock as a Pi Zero 2W, with the same amount of RAM. But without being able to choose an SD card of arbitrary size. Of course, things like what interfaces are exposed on the board (USB, CSI, etc) matter a lot for embedded devices. But that would be the bigger obstacle to reusing these than the power of them.

'Amlogic S905D2 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor' and a search says it runs at up to 1.896GHz. The original iPod had 5GB of storage (HDD), 32MB of RAM and a dual-core 80MHz processor. And that processor was an ARM7TDMI, which isn't as capable on a per-clock basis. There's a whole lot this thing could do in terms of playing music.

The author seems to have also completely missed the fact that hacking a light-weight web player to be a light-weight web player that works after the end-of-service is the primary point. Even if it were true that it wouldn’t be useful as anything more than what it is, that’s not an argument against it. Plus it runs Doom.

As soomeone who started computing on a 16k (rapidly went to 48K) computer I find the following quote nonsense. "Hendrickson believes it’s due to the device’s hardware limitations. With a weak Amlogic processor, 4GB of eMMC storage, and only 512MB of RAM, the device is too underpowered to run anything more demanding than its intended lightweight web-based media player." The chip may be a problem but that is certainly enough ram to do a lot with. But Amlogic processors run at from 1.2 to 1.9ghz. Pretty sure it will run something and certainly is not a potato.

Nearly every major business nowadays has custom, proprietary software that they've written to do stuff. The website isn't really all that interesting beyond not being open source; likely there's a number of internal tools they've developed that help their business. That said I'd be surprised if any of them are any sort of differentiator, especially in a space (print/online news media) that's basically owned by 3 people globally. That said, FTA states "270 GB of data" so arguably the valuable shit is not code. Even the assholes at Activision with their 270 GB game updates only have maybe 20-30 mb of compiled executables and libraries comprising code. The rest is images, audio, cutscenes, etc. The only really juicy crap would be if they uncovered the real names of otherwise anonymous sources or maybe some long-term investigative scoops that haven't been published yet.

I can spot two major problems with this law immediately. 1. How do you determine the age of a user as outside of requiring an ID be provided determining the age of a social media user is nearly impossible. 2. "The New York legislation defines an “addictive feed” as one that recommends, selects or prioritizes media based on information associated with a user or their device."

I mean I don’t know how to sift through everything and say yay or nay for each thing, but we need to ban addictive, brain hijacking type strategies for both social media and advertising. Like advertising and social media has become a study in capturing and manipulating our attention while exploiting our brains reward and association systems for profit. Children are especially susceptible to this but all humans are susceptible to this. It’s no different than training a dog. Or an abuser grooming a victim. We should be dumping buckets of money into researching the effects of this and ban anything that it’s too damaging. Though in the same way we should probably ban or limit slot machine usage because it works with similar principles. ——— Edit: also online/app sports betting. There’s a whole industry that has sprung up since the pandemic that is basically eating up big chunks of the economy while producing nothing of value except for a few people winning big. I’m not against gambling as a whole but it’s different when it’s a destination and not just a money drain sitting in your pocket. Oh and guess who loses the most with betting? Low income. Which could also be a contributing factor to homelessness. We really need to put a stop to exploitative business practices. They hurt our society so much.

For the milquetoast legislators, the way to regulation is through concern for the kids. It was the same with tobacco. First we help the kids, then we do the really hard work and turn to ourselves. First ban advertising to the kids. Then ban advertising all together. Have public awareness campaigns about how second hand smoke affects kids, then ban indoor smoking. Work on reducing teen smoking rates, then adult smoking rates. First, ban candy-flavored vapes, now there’s a push to ban menthol cigarettes. You say it’s bad for the kids, adults will naturally ask, what about me, isn’t this bad for me too? And then they’ll start to want the government to regulate that product and limit their own exposure to it. But if you just try to take an addictive distraction away from people all wily nilly, they’ll be up in arms. It’s just bad politics. They have to want to give it up themselves, and/or clamor for government regulation. They’ll only do the latter once they realize how bad the product is for them and how the company making it is specifically taking advantage of them and addicting them to their products. Then people get upset and start to accept the regulation. It’s also why you see homophobes bash LGBT communities saying “but the kids!” They’re trying the same strategy, however misguided since being gay isn’t a harmful addictive substance like many homophobes think it is. Banning addictive social media algorithms for kids is the first step towards serious regulation. I do wish our government representatives weren’t so cowardly that they would just regulate it, but I’ll take this win.

Might not even work that will. The medium of quick dumb videos is addictive enough. What if we do this and we find it's still harming kids? Sometimes I think there's no safe level of it.

So if someone is scrolling as usual, then suddenly hit the limit, and if they have to "work" to remove that limit, that's gonna be a negative feedback.
